Unbelievable and really scary! We need your prayers!

 

 

[Áine]

That's so sad... my prayers are with you x

[Saffron]

I have no words. 😭

I read earlier today Revelation Chapters 2 and 3 for encouragement and focus! Praying hard for all of my brothers and sisters...

Have courage, my dear sister!  It's so awful, that if we didn't know why it's happening we would be faint out of fear.  We are so close to the end, and satan is showing his rage against Jehovah's faithful ones.  Somehow, Jehovah's Holy Spirit protects these ones undergoing the vilest of tests.  We don't understand how they do, but they have endured in the past with Jehovah's help, and they will endure again.  It is his promise. 

 

Phil 4:13 For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.

 

 

My prayers for you, dear Victoria, and all our family over there 💕

Bullying innocent people i wonder how i would deal with this in the united states.....when i was younger i used to say you are going to tortue me im fighting back you going to just have to kill me.....but i know Jehovah is with them and He will not forget what they are doing for His name . I hope if it comes my way i will be just as courageous.

Victoria, my dear, precious sister. Don’t give thought to this. Pray for them, as we pray for you. Satan would like nothing more then to frighten and intimidate us.

This is a fact. Jehovah is with you dear ones. He is fully aware, and he will take care of it in a proper way. Concentrate on the blessings you have been promised. 

I did read this, but, with so much of the news today, I see headlines, and move on. I don’t want deatails. But, these are my brothers and sister. And I need to be aware, so I can pray for them, and you, too. 

We will pray for you to have strength and integrity. 

Concentrate on the good promises Jehovah has given us. Not one has failed to come true. Not one.❤️❤️❤️

For those who are still free from persecution, we need to remember that what we fear is often much worse and more disabling than what is or will be. (1 John 4:18) "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts fear out, because fear restrains us. Indeed, the one who is fearful has not been made perfect in love."

Jehovah will give his spirit to all such faithful brothers and sisters so that they may endure with integrity, peace and joy.

(Romans 8:35-37) Who will separate us from the love of the Christ? Will tribulation or distress or persecution or hunger or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 Just as it is written: “For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we have been accounted as sheep for slaughtering.” 37 On the contrary, in all these things we are coming off completely victorious through the one who loved us.
(Romans 5:3-5) Not only that, but let us rejoice while in tribulations, since we know that tribulation produces endurance; 4 endurance, in turn, an approved condition; the approved condition, in turn, hope, 5 and the hope does not lead to disappointment; because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit, which was given to us.
(1 Peter 4:12-14) Beloved ones, do not be surprised about the fiery trials that you are experiencing, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 On the contrary, go on rejoicing over the extent to which you are sharers in the sufferings of the Christ, so that you may rejoice and be overjoyed also during the revelation of his glory. 14 If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy, because the spirit of glory, yes, the spirit of God, is resting upon you.

Every night and day my dearest sister.  My heart hurts for all of our family in Russia.  Please hold on to Jehovah’s hand.  Much Christian love from your sister.

You have myriads of angels and thousands of brothers in your corner my sister.

No ordinary humans are able to endure this sister.. May Jehovah's holy spirit be with you all.. 

 

I feel so sad that you're going to experience these. I am speechless... But you have the special privilege to be on Jehovah's side... tribulations  are temporary compare to eternity ..  

 

Agape. .. We love you there in Russia..

Zechariah 2:8

 

For this is what Jehovah of armies says, who after being glorified has sent me to the nations that were plundering you: ‘Whoever touches you touches the pupil of my eye.'

From my buddy in New York to whom I sent this link...

 

https://jw-russia.org/en/news/19021923-622.html

 

... tonight was his mid-week mtg:

 

Thanks again. I just read the first sentence and I heard friends gasping and demonstrating displeasure and empathy for our brothers. Young teenage servant came up to me and said, "I looked but I didn't see it on jw.org news." When I told him the website he said, "are you sure that that's our website?" Then when I showed it to him he said, "whoa I never knew about this. that's cool"

I am telling my husband about the website, and I dunno how to explain if he will question whether the web is official or not

 

[stargazer]

May God give peace to you all.

Its official. As Cricket said, you can look at the bottom of the site to see the copyright notice. 

 

I once did a search on JW.org for "jw-russia.org" and I found it in several news reports.

[Thesauron]

This is not unexpected coming from the KtN. We do pray for these brothers to maintain courage and joy.

I suspect it has only just begun...

I think another letter campaign is near. I have the stamps ready too.

Without using this link, https://jw-russia.org/en/news/19021923-622.html,

how can I access that site.  I do not find a link on jw.org.  thank you much.

You can just type JW-Russia.org in the address field of your preferred browser. I don’t think there is a link from JW.org to that site as it is a very special site. We have a number of those sites.

[Ms. Piffle]

Thank you brother Johan.

I’m having an issue trying to bring up the website our sister referred to - is it from the Society?
